| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
According to prospect of water supply and balance, around 40% of world population will suffer from water deficit by 2050. To tackle this water crisis, we developed a method to account water volume and assess impacts on the environment along supply chain of products/services consumed in Japan (So called water footprinting). Water footprinting reveals that 60% of the total water consumption for production of products/services consumed in Japan occurs outside Japan. Besides, this high dependency results in about 50 times larger impact on the environment in other countries than those in Japan.
